Oliver's pov
Another engagement. Another wedding. Yes, Claire and Shane; again in the news but this time a happier occasion- they are going to say the vows. I deeply hope it goes well; they have both been terribly unfortunate in the past month. The baby is common knowledge in our small town; they are both being treated with solemn respect- it's saddening news.
Yet they both openly air their news. An example is pretty clear in the invitation; they are holding this event not just to celebrate their engagement but to raise funds for research. Hundreds of years I've watched people marry but, in my day there was no party or celebration; people married because it was what was done. I myself never married, she died before we had the chance. They married to have children, own a home, and have a family… I was never like that.
Ever since I was young I've been an outsider, someone different to the rest. She was like me in so many ways; we were both unlike the rest, we had a connection- a deep meaning connection. She was as the young say 'my soul-mate' but, I just suppose it wasn't what life had destined. People feared me then, but she didn't she never held fear in me. I had so much love inside for the world, I was gentle; I wouldn't harm a fly but now I've lost that streak of humanity- it's there but deep, deep in the pits of my soul. Tragically now I struggle to find it, but it's there because Amelie shows me… she shows me the gentler side of myself. The founder is again not like the rest, she herself was an outcast.
Though she never admits, I've heard the millions of stories; Bishop's bite brought her power, but also the craving to beat her father. She became cold, yet now young Claire sparked something inside her. Amelie was young when she received the bite; never had a chance in life, never nurtured a child or married a young man. No longer is she young, inside she's crumbling. I see light inside her, the same light that was in my beloved. We have moments where the anger just melts away and we see each other- really see each other. That's when I can admit I do love my queen; caused me agony and abandonment yet now we are more equal than ever.
I shouldn't but the old ritual always counts. So maybe Claire and Shane can built upon this marriage and hopefully move on from the past… but from my experience love is never easy- even with the love of centuries.
Okay, so do you like the idea of Oliver? The story is still based around 'the Glass house peeps' but maybe a background story. Mrythin maybe?xx
